fCATTERRD  in  prodigal  profusion  alonj^  the  noble  vSt.  Lawrence  River,  from  Cape  Vincent 
and  Clayton  to  Alexandria  Bay  and  down  to  Morristown — the  channel  in  some  pLce 
beinjj  twelve  miles  broad — are  the  island  gems,  more  than  i8ck)  in  number,  known 
collectively  as  the  Thousand  Islands.  They  vary  in  size  from  a  small  mass  of  rock  to 
picturescjue  islands,  luxurious  with  vef^etation  and  miles  in  extent.  Many  of  the  Islands  have 
i)een  converted  into  summer  homes,  with  here  a  cluster  of  cottages  an(l  there  a  pretentious 
house  or  castle-like  structure  of  stone.  Uright  and  j)!easing  colors  abound.  Flags  and 
streatners,  the  whistles  of  the  many-sliaped  steam  vessels,  waving  handkerchiefs  and  other 
signs  of  general  good  fellowship  greet  you  on  all  sides.  At  night  the  river  is  ablaze  with 
lights — lights  in  cottage  windows  and  upon  docks  and  vessels — long  belts  of  lights  flashing 
from  huge  hotels,  lanterns  arranged  in  fantastic  forms,  crowns  and  stars  and  suns  of  fire 
Many  colored  calcium  lights  flash  across  the  scene  and  vie  with  the  searchlight  of  steamers 
on  their  nightly  errands.  ^ 

Hut  civilization  as  it  shows  itself  among  the  Thousand  Islands  is  not  abtrusive.  It  rather 
heightens  than  detracts  from  the  total  imi)ression.  In  wild  beauty,  in  grace  and  boldness  of 
outline,  in  form  and  color,  iti  beauty  near  at  hand  or  in  distant  prospects,  in  infinite  variety, 
and  in  the  endless  combinations  of  land  and  water  views,  the  Thousand  Islands  .surpass  any 
known  river  scenery.  Giant  forces  have  been  at  work  here  in  the  past,  and  the  Titans  in  their 
sport  have  hurled  rocks  and  islands  broadcast,  leaving  the  blue  limpid  waters  of  the  St.  Lawrence 
to  filter  through  as  best  they  can  As  the  visitor  moves  along  in  the  .skiff  or  upon  the  steamer's 
deck,  the  view  changes  almost  every  moment.  New  beauties  present  tliemselves  before  the 
eye  has  been  satisfied  with  those  on  which  it  already  looks.  One  may  spend  months  or  years 
in  this  favored  spot  without  exhausting  it's  charms.  The  lovely  flowers  which  I'rontenac  saw 
in  1673 — "as  beautiful  as  can  be  seen"  still  blossom  in  the  crevices  of  the  rocks  and  along  the 
shore. 

Laved  by  the  clear  blue  waters  of  the  St.  Lawrence,  and  fanned  by  gentle  breezes  which 
come  laden  with  the  balmy  odors  of  balsam,  pine  and  cednr,  the  Islands  are  at  all  times  delight- 
fully cool  and  refreshing.  You  may  in  canoe  or  boat,  float  to  some  sequestered  bay  redolent 
of  tlie  perfume  and  water  lilies.  Or,  if  a  lover  of  fishing,  you  may  tempt  the  wily  bass  from 
his  hiding-place,  or,  if  given  to  sentiment,  3'ou  may  alight  on  some  quiet  island,  make  a  bed 
of  the  mossy  rock  or  green  sword,  watch  the  doiuls  and  the  white-winged  vessels,  or  wake  the 
echoes  with  guitar,  mandolin  or  song.
